New John Lewis at Home to join Waitrose in Horsham
Published: 19 December 2013
John Lewis today announced plans to open a new At Home outlet in Horsham as early as autumn 2015.
The 45,000sq ft shop, adjoining Waitrose in the new West End development, will be the third co-located site for a John Lewis at Home and Waitrose supermarket. The first combined scheme opened in Ipswich in October 2012 and plans for a second co-location in Basingstoke were announced earlier this year.
The two shops represent an £11m investment by the John Lewis Partnership. John Lewis will create 125 full- and part-time new jobs, and a further 50 roles will be created at Waitrose as part of the development.
Horsham's new John Lewis at Home will focus on furniture, furnishing accessories, homewares, technology, nursery and travel goods, selling over two floors.
Managing director of John Lewis, Andy Street, said: "We are very pleased to announce plans for our third John Lewis at home and Waitrose venture. The significant investment and job creation represents a real vote of confidence for Horsham and we look forward to becoming part of the local community."
